The Association has received from the Illinois State His-
torical Society Papers in Illinois History and Transactions for
the Year 1940. A lengthy article entitled The Great Chicago
Fire, October 8-10, 1871, is a most interesting contribution
in the volume.

The Massachusetts Historical Society published in 1941
Voyages of the "Columbia" to the Northwest Coast, 1787-1790
and 1790-1793. The logs of the voyages by petty officers with
introduction and notes by the editor, Frederick W. Harvey,
make up the book. It is both valuable and interesting.

The Association received notice some time back of the publi-
cation of The Denison Guide, a 29-page pamphlet, by the Works
Progress Administration under the sponsorship of the Denison,
Texas, Chamber of Commerce. The pamphlet was prepared by
the Federal Writers Project and traces, as the notice says,
"concisely but adequately, the development of the North Central
Texas city (population 13,850) situated four miles southeast
of the site of the proposed $54,000,000 hydro-electric flood
control dam on the Red River, for which authorization was
voted by Congress in 1938." The notice also describes Denison
as a "rugged Texas town" and pursues this theme throughout.397
